Taking care of a child is the most busy aspect in the human race expecially when the child is still a baby because then they need more attention cause theye likely can not do most things on their own. For both parents, it's not really an easy task as you always have to plan your day ahead most expecially the working parents. How difficult this is for both parents how will it then be for single parents to handle.

I did it, but I had some support from my family. I got a few breaks during the year when my mother would take my daughters to her place for March Breaks, a few weeks camping in the summer and also on random weekends. It was difficult financially but I made it.

I can understand your point very well These days the kids are not easy to handle. Every single parent is doing a great job indeed.

I raised 2 boys by myself and it was hard. So hard that my boys grew up and they don’t want to have kids of their own because they know how hard it is to raise children.

I am sure this kind of status is really not easy. If he or she has supportive family members or close friends, things will walk through in good things to handle the difficult life.

A person can do anything they need to do when the time comes and that includes raising children alone. I raised 3 by myself with no family close enough to help, it was hard, it was challenging but I wouldn't have changed what I had with my kids for the world. We were close and had lots of love for each other. I had 3 jobs at one time, anything to get us through but it was worth it. Are you a single mom?

@Mikky88 You become stronger when you have to do it alone but you also raise strong children as well because they see your struggles. Children also need both parents, you are lucky to have someone to help you. Your children will be well loved.

No am not. I see people raising children as a single parent and I know how difficult it is for me and my husband I really feel for them. I think you are a strong woman

No, it isn't an easy task and it does get a bit frustrating especially for someone like me who hates the idea of leaving my son alone to be watched by someone other than me. The only person I trust enough to leave my child to is my mom but I am honestly very fortunate to be able to work from home and even when I'm working I still get to hear that he is fine, playing around or breaking things lol. I have my mom and sister's support so I do consider myself fortunate to not be alone in this journey with my son.
